Recalled/Assigned: Canucks recall D Yann Sauve from Utica

[NuxFan09]

Looks like the Canucks like what they see so far in Sauve, contrary to what many here say about him.

@News1130Sports: #Canucks announce they've recalled D Yann Sauve from Utica (#AHL)


Uhh what the hell?

We have no injuries on d...

 

[Hammer79]

They must have been really unimpressed with Alberts last night.

 

[Bgav]

This is Pejorative Slured

 

[Defeatist*]

See ya alberts! That 37 sec shift was his last as a canuck.

 

[Lord Flacko*]

Is he playing good?

 

[Hammer79]

Ugh, they must be planning to put Weber on F and benching Sauve and dog-housing Alberts. Why not call up a forward?

 

[Craz1bo1]

Why don't they don't call up a forward, if they need one? Archibald maybe? Better than playing a D on the 4th line.

 

[polarbearcub]

Yeah I don't get this....we have 3 injuries on forward and none on d

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Has anyone here had one of those dreams where you're basically doing something you'd do on a daily basis but something's totally amiss (ie. seeing the Canucks win the Stanley Cup)?

This is one of those moments...but what the hell, I'm awake...this is surreal. Mind-boggling. Have I lapsed into a coma?

 

[SighReally]

Implying we have forwards to call up. Don't think Archibald is quite ready yet.

Weber will make due on the fourth line. Though I want to see MS's opposing reactions on waiving Alberts but calling up Sauve heh.

 

[NuxFan09]

Is he playing good?

I didn't watch, only listened on the radio as the stream kept dying on me, so you'll have to refer to thefeebster or Tiranis or donttouchme for a more accurate analysis but from what I heard he played a big game tonight. I heard his name even more than Corrado's and not in a bad way, although that doesn't mean Corrado was bad either. I think Sauve is prone to some bad turnovers but he also broke up a few plays tonight and even got involved in the offense. In the games I did watch against Rochester he looked solid as well.

Again, the posters who have watched every game can give you more insight, though.

 

[Pip]

Very, very interesting. Obviously he's replacing Alberts, but I'm surprised they didn't call up a forward and put Weber back.

Also I would have thought Corrado would be the first callup.

Yes.... This is all strange. Unless the canucks are about to make a trade

 

[Wolfhard]

Clearly we need more D to play on the 4th line!

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

So this is my guess.

Sedin-Sedin-Kesler
Higgins-Santorelli-Kassian
Booth-Richardson-Weise
Sestito-Welsh-Sauve

 

[SighReally]

Trade Weber and Alberts for a bag of pucks?

 

[Ozone]

Yes.... This is all strange. Unless the canucks are about to make a trade

This seems crazy....but it's exactly what I was thinking.

 

[Vankiller Whale]

I'm guessing Weber will be playing as a forward then?

 

[NuxFan09]

I'm guessing Weber will be playing as a forward then?

This makes sense, although a trade makes sense as well, given the Hansen injury. You almost get the sense that Gillis was like "Okay, that's it. Time to do something.".

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

I'm guessing Weber will be playing as a forward then?

Maybe I had that in my head too. We should have called up Grenier or Mallet. Or even Ferriero to see what hes got.

 

[NuxFan09]

Maybe I had that in my head too. We should have called up Grenier or Mallet.

Mallet is injured (shoulder).

 

[Jefe88]

Pointless to call him up when the whole reason we left him in Utica was so he would get big minutes.

 

[Addison Rae]

Not a fan of this move at all, but whatever.
